Joe Gibbs taught again and again and again that what wins football games is winning the turnover battle. Minimize your turnovers, maximize the opposition's, and you win football games. While he was pleased with touchdown passes, and in fact he came from the Air Coryell school of passing offense, he emphasized ball safety over and over.

Bill Parcells has always taught the same. For both Gibbs and Parcells, avoiding turnovers is more important than racking up touchdown passes.

Then again, what do Gibbs and Parcells know about winning NFL games?
